Content Magazine Sheds New Light on Digital Media; Re-Launch of Magazine Provides Strategic Information for Producers, Developers, and Consumers.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 1998--Content(R) magazine, published since 1991, has been re-launched with a new glossy format and an expanded distribution.

Content embraces all platforms and formats of electronic media and offers coverage of products, case studies, technology directions, industry partnerships, and market trends.

The Spring/Summer issue is available now and will be circulated to more than 95,000. Circulation is expected to climb rapidly as the magazine is aggressively marketed to its target audience of individuals, work groups, and companies involved in the creation, development, production, and distribution of digital content.

In addition, the magazine is coupled with a unique conference and that provides the same focused information and analysis about the large-scale production and distribution of digital media.

Recognizing that traditional content providers have been slow to adapt to a new publishing environment and to new opportunities resulting from the convergence of traditional and electronic media, Content magazine fills a void by providing the only single source of information covering new developments in digital media, timely coverage of technology innovations, and well-grounded expert opinions.

Among the topics covered in the Spring/Summer issue are: Multimedia Publishing, the Future of DVD, Scaleable and Sustainable Software Development, a Multimedia Buyer's Guide, and Digital Imaging and Collections.

The magazine is offered via newsstand and subscription distributions. To request a subscription to Content magazine, please write to Content Subscriptions, 345 Northlake Drive, San Jose, CA 95117; or visit the ContentWorld Web site at http://www.content-world.com.

ContentWorld(R), the conference to which Content magazine is a companion, will be held this coming summer on Saturday July 25, on the campus of Sonoma State University, in Rohnert Park, Calif.

Providers, users, and consumers of digital content are expected to attend from across the U.S. and internationally.
